Definitions

two bad data systems are in current use on data. The first is "reliable source." The other system in use is multiple report. If a report is heard from several areas or people it is "true." The Russian KGB has a Department D that forges documents and plants them in several parts of the world. They are then "true." Propaganda spokesmen located all over the world say the same thing to the press on every major occasion. This becomes "public opinion" in government circles and so is "true" because it is published and comes from so many areas. Five informants could all have heard the same lie. (HCO PL 17 May 70)
